Chapter 487: Leaving the Fire Domain 5

Saying that, Nangong Liuyun left her and went to look for a way out along the path he had taken yesterday.

During these past ten days or so, he had never given up on finding an exit. Because he had to take Su Luo out; he couldn't bear for Su Luo to waste away with him in this Flame Cave.

Most of the vast Flame Cave had already been searched by him in a carpet-like sweep, with only the southeast direction remaining untrodden; he was currently putting all his effort into searching that area.

Su Luo's attention, however, remained on that weird stone.

Surprisingly, the surrounding temperature had actually dropped a bit, to the point where she could hold out for the duration of an incense stick without clutching the stone.

What exactly was inside this stone? It was simply bizarre. Su Luo looked it over from left to right; she always felt there was a magical existence inside, waiting for her to explore and discover. ░▒▓█►─═  ═─◄█▓▒░

When Su Luo channeled her Spiritual Power into it, she felt nothing except for the scorching hot temperature inside. Previously, this stone would scream and had almost led to Li Aotian's pursuit, but now it seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, without even a hint of a reaction.

However, just as Nangong had said, she was indeed incredibly lucky.

Because this stone had already been bound to her as its master through a drop of blood, the more flames it absorbed, the greater the help it would be for her future fire-attribute cultivation.

At this moment, Su Luo truly wished it would suck away all the flames in the entire cave.

For Su Luo, this Flame Cave was truly an excellent place for cultivation; no other place could compare to this naturally formed Flame Cave.

Since there was such a good cultivation environment, Su Luo naturally wouldn't let it go to waste, so she had been working hard at her cultivation these past few days.

Aside from eating and sleeping, she spent her time cultivating, and she was even cultivating both inside and outside her Space simultaneously.

After another ten days or so, Su Luo suddenly soared from the Early Stage of the Fourth Rank to the Middle Stage of the Fourth Rank! Such a cultivation speed, no matter where it was placed, would be an existence that left people in awe.

At the same time, more than half of the flames in this cave had actually been absorbed by that weird stone, and the overall temperature had dropped. Now, even without holding the stone, Su Luo could Cultivate safely.

To have improved so quickly in just a short period of time! Not only Su Luo, but even Nangong Liuyun was left speechless.

"There won't be any problems with cultivating like this, right?" Su Luo looked at her palms, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.

According to her knowledge, for many people with decent talent, going from the Early Stage of the Fourth Rank to the Middle Stage would take at least half a year to a year, but she only took ten days… ten days! This was simply… she couldn't find the words to describe it.

Nangong Liuyun checked her body carefully and finally breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing her head: "Your body isn't damaged, and your strength improvement is steady. There shouldn't be any problems."

"That's good then." Su Luo spread her hands, expressing helplessness. Sometimes, having one's strength increase too quickly was also a burden.

However, a look of worry soon appeared on Su Luo's face, and she sighed: "Counting the days, the scheduled Life-and-Death Battle is in three days, yet I can't get out."

Su Luo was very troubled.

She was not someone who would back down.

The challenge had already been accepted; if she didn't show up… how could she continue to get by in the Imperial Capital?

Moreover, her strength had greatly increased now, which was the best time to show off her skills. Being trapped like this gave her the feeling of throwing a punch into a pile of cotton.

Nangong Liuyun, however, curled his lips into a mysterious smile, took Su Luo's hand, and said, "Come, follow This Prince."

"Where are we going?" Su Luo asked curiously.

Nangong Liuyun smiled enigmatically, only being evasive: "You'll know once we get there."

The Flame Cave was very large, surrounded by golden-yellow flames, and visibility was very low.

Su Luo had one hand held by Nangong Liuyun and the other clutching the stone as they walked forward along the winding corridor.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a small stone chamber suddenly appeared ahead.

Nangong Liuyun pushed open the heavy stone door familiarly and led Su Luo inside.

"Eh—" Seeing the object before her, Su Luo couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

It was a peculiarly shaped Golden Sarcophagus.
